Bayo Fasunwon said : In other words, she is a Chartered Professional Wife to the Wealthy. Get the manual
@Joe Hans Apuu responding said : Is this the achievement after three years as SGF?
When he was appointed, I suggested that he should influence the dualization of Makurdi -Gboko road, which passes right through his village, as a legacy to Tiv nation for attaining that position.
I got the insults of my life from social media thugs.
But it’s not late. Let him at least put up a resource centre anywhere in Benue comprising 500 computers with internet where students, young people and researchers can visit and JAMB exams can be conducted annually.
How can a man of over 70 be getting married? What of his other wives? Is he a moslem?
